Infant Care
6 weeks – 12 months old
Cognitive Development
Our teachers nurture this critical stage in your infant’s development by allowing them to respond to, adapt to, and learn about their surroundings using all of their senses. They’re engaged in activities that help them make associations between sounds and sights and develop an awareness of their environment.
Understanding object permanence (that objects exist even when they can’t be sensed) through educational games.
Creating sensory memories by exploring different textures and sounds with toys.
Understanding similarities and likenesses by sorting colored or shaped objects and solving puzzles.
Language & Communication
Our teachers are constantly communicating with your infant to help them make sense of sounds and speech patterns. They’re engaged in activities to help them express and understand both verbal sounds and nonverbal body language.
Making associations between words and colors in books.
Learning words in sign language.
Responding to and imitating sounds and rhymes through songs.
Identifying facial expressions and sounds.

Health Essentials
Health Essentials is a set of CDC-based standard operating procedures that can help mitigate the spread of potential infection throughout our Facility. Health Essentials is a key part of our overall Covid-19 response , expanding upon existing disinfection and health protocols that offer parents and staff peace of mind and demonstrates our commitment to creating a healthy and safe environment for learning and working.
Health Essentials guidelines are focused on four principles designed to cover various preventative, protective and corrective measures that address COVID-19:
Wellness Education
The solution starts with an understanding. Children will learn how following proper hygienic practices can keep them healthy. Our staff receives training and must abide by enhanced health and safety practices outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Enhanced Hygiene
Soap and water is the best solution. Soap and water offer the simplest solution to combat infection.
Staff increase hand washing frequency.
All children must wash their hands upon entering their room at the start of each day and all recommended times thereafter in addition to
following standard facility hand washing procedures.
Healthy Environment
A clean facility keeps families safe. Our facility adhere to advanced cleaning procedures: Nightly cleaning, daily laundering of soft items and bedding, limiting items brought into the facility.
